BUYER TIPS FOR SECOND HAND CARS,Part4  

ODOMETERS

The odometer reading of a used car is often crucial for the purchase, for or against the used car. Therefore the mileage of a car is maybe manipulated, by digital mileage correction in some cases, or odometer roll back of the analog one, in order to increase the value. Unfortunately these manipulations are not visible at first.

In order to recognize a manipulation, there are three possible reference points: with large manipulations of the mileage, the conditions apply as wear marks at the steering wheel, shift levers, the pedals and upholstery.

Check the dates and mileage on the stickers for oil and cooling water change, maybe you should check with the responsible service center or previous owners of the private vehicle.
